Ok so I have been considering breeding wax worms since breeding mealworms and zophobas have worked out so well for me (if anyone wants any tips, just ask! I don't know everything certainly, but can share what's worked for me)

So anyway, the prices at pet stores for wax worms as we all know is ungodly high and I haven't ordered bugs online in YEARS. I have no clue who is good, who ships dead bugs, etc.

So I'm asking for 2 things...suggestions on current good dealers for worms and also any links on good sites explaining the care of wax worms for potentially breeding them. I do know they are the larvae of the Wax Moth. I've read that they do well on a mix of cereal grain and honey....anyone found a great way for raising them with optimal nutrition would love to know.
I'll also scroll through the posts here but have just literally come back to post on Kingsnake after a LONG sabbatical just from moving to a new place, new job, etc.

Hugs!

Amanda Rose
